About the reading group programme
This and forthcoming reading groups offer a welcoming environment for discussion that is open to all and encouraging of multiple understandings of the world around us. The sessions are embedded and engaged in interrogating more-than-human times, exploring how ‘nature’ has been and still is, colonised, controlled, represented, researched, and protected today. In precarious times we privilege words, philosophies, imaginings of our peers and esteemed thinkers alike for wisdom and guidance.
How to join the reading group
To join this and forthcoming reading groups, we are asking for a small fee via Patreon, to help with running costs now, and in the future, based on subscribers. All subscribers will be offered a place in the reading group and if unable to attend, will receive detailed notes from the session.
Participants will be sent suggested passages as recommended reading ahead of the group.
Supported by Arts Council England
The reading group programme is funded by Arts Council England, which supports Lumen’s exploration of sustainable online activities during a time when galleries large and small are looking at alternative offerings for networks of artists and audiences.
